Does that mean at Google you can manually set the system to treat different sites differently?
I don't mean the ranking but other aspects - like you guys blacklisted some domains which produce low quality content in wholesale. (I don't know if the algorithm was tweaked to detect and filter such sources or if it was a manual thing.)
- Kiall 15y agoNo, It sounds like @pg has blocked google bot via a firewall, So as far as google's automated systems are concerned, hacker news was shutdown and thus removed from the index. I believe Matt is simply offering help/advice on figuring out the best solution for HN.
- seabee 15y agoDoes that mean at Google you can manually set the system to treat different sites differently? Webmaster Tools has a crawl rate slider which operate on a site-by-site basis, and that's existed for quite a while now. If you're asking if they can manually boost a site's ranking, hopefully that isn't what's being suggested.
